Task Title: Carpentry Angles and Tools

Carpenters need to purchase tools to make the work effective and efficient. They often do research on the best tool for the job.

Learner Information and Tasks:

Task 1: Using the YouTube website search "crown molding angle finder". Locate and watch the YouTube video "How to cut large angle crown molding corners by creative crown." What is the formula for cutting an angle larger than 90( with a miter saw?

Task 2: Search YouTube for the video "Understanding Miters" by This is Carpentry. Watch the video and list the two most important things to remember about miter cuts?

1)

2)

Task 3: Carpenters use reference material on the job site. Search the internet for the Creative Crown website. On the website find and click on the cutting chart. If the angle is 121( what is the degree of the miter cut?

Task 4 Go to the YouTube website and conduct a search of digital angle finders. Watch at least two YouTube videos on digital angle finders. Cite the videos you watched.

Task 5 Using the videos you watched in Task 4, list the items that angle finders are used to measure?

Task 6 Send an email to your instructor expressing your opinion of the advantages of using a digital angle finder rather than a traditional angle finder.

Answer Key

Task 1 Go to the YouTube website and search "crown molding angle finder". Locate and watch the YouTube video "How to cut large angle crown molding corners by creative crown." What is the formula for cutting an angle larger than 90( with a miter saw?

180( - degree of angle to be cut or x( = y(

y(÷ 2 = degree of angles to be cut or c(

(180( - x() = y(

y( ÷ 2 = c(

Task 2: Search YouTube for the video "Understanding Miters" by This is Carpentry. Watch the video and list the two most important things to remember about miter cuts?

1) Inside corner measure to the longpoint of the molding

2) Outside corner measure to the shortpoint of the molding

Task 3: Carpenters use reference material on the job site. Search the internet for the Creative Crown website. On the website find and click on the cutting chart. If the angle is 121( what is the degree of the miter cut?

29.5(

Task 4 Go to the YouTube website and conduct a search of digital angle finders. Watch at least two YouTube videos on digital angle finders. List the source of the videos you watched.

Bosch GAM220MF Digital Angle Finder

Digital Angle Gauge #95998

Task 5 Using the videos you watched in Task 4, list the items that angle finders are used to measure?

Angles for crown molding, baseboards, picture frame construction.

Task 6 Send an email to the instructor expressing your opinion of the advantages of using a digital angle finder rather than a traditional angle finder.

The answer should be similar to the one below.

The advantage of using a digital angle finder is the ease of use. It can store the measurement. It's easily adjustable. With the traditional angle finder you will have to remember the number of the angle and may cause inaccuracies in measurements.
